I tried to buy a Firearm and the sale was placed “on hold”

[Cuz]

Ive never for the life of me bought a gun and not left with it the same day. Not today, my background check was placed “on hold until June 11th”

Was not given an exact reason why. Has anyone ever had this happen? Talk about pissed off, my record is clean no excuse I couldn’t buy a gun today the only excuse i got from the store was “ you have a common last name or they could just be backed up”

Thats a new one for ole cuz

[GearHeaded]

FFL and background checks for US has hit a new world record for the most hits in world history ... look it up

I disagree.

The people who wait until the news scares them to buy a gun are the ones that dont need one.

Everybody needs a gun. Even these people who are just now realizing it. The culture in this country is changing and not for the good. People know the police cannot and will not protect them. And beyond that, the government's goons might just be the very people you need to protect yourself from.

No not everyone needs a gun just like not everyone needs to vote and many people shouldnt be in this country.

It’s funny. I’ve had friends text me over the last couple of months Cape I need a gun. What do you recommend. What ammo do I need. Can you teach me to shoot. These are people ho used to look at me like I was crazy for carrying everyday. I tell them better late to the party than missing the party.

Crazy!! America is arming herself........time for a civil war it seems.

I had never heard of anything like this and felt insulted. I did a brief google search but not much came up, I actually looked at a forum from 2005....

So what your sayin is be patient and calm down right?

I think this may be what you are talking about...

I have never bought a gun so I don't know exactly.

As an aside: imagine how pissed everyone would be if this happened when Obama was president. That probably would've started the next civil war. (Or the ongoing civil war if you want to argue that...)

It happened during Obama as well. Gun prices soared after Sandy Hook and systems were backed up. Why did you go political?

I didn't realize it happened during Obama.
I stand corrected.

I was trying to make a joke.
If you remember... many claimed that once Obama was in that guns would be outlawed.
So... I joked saying that if you tried to buy a gun during Obama's presidency and couldn't.... people would think their fears were realized and start a war.

I guess my joke wasn't any good.

That administration tried pushing so many gun bills it’s sickening. Now the left is pushing to defund the police, lol.

I purchased a 3D printer and will start making some guns soon.

Obama actually had a respect for gun rights more than most give him credit for.


”In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that's handed from generation to generation. Hunting and shooting are part of our national heritage. And, in fact, my administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners—it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and Obama repeatedly expressed support for the Second Amendment, explaining:

"If you’ve got a rifle, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it away."

During Obama's reign, finding .22LR was a challenge. It was so bad that even when I wasn't looking for .22lr, if I saw a brick of it at the store, I bought it before somebody else could.

Yes, apparently a lot of folks here dont understand humor. It’s weird.

Obama was the greatest gun salesman ever. You couldn’t get certain kinds of ammo during his time, and it cycled through different shortages..22, 9mm, .380, all at different times. He signed two laws good for gun owners. He got rid of Reagan’s ban on carrying guns in national parks. And he allowed guns in checked baggage on Amtrak. Both laws helped gun owners.

Trump only did one thing good thing, stopping Obama’s requirement that VA hospital doctors put personal mental health info into the NICS system. But Trump outlawed bump stocks, so there’s that.

Never had that problem; just picked up another pistol within the last week or so.
Now, CWP/ CCW was quite a wait. It was about 112 business days, because the system wasn't prepared for the influx of new applications back then.

[SampsonandDelilah]

A buddy bought a G17 yesterday, CBI (Colorado) was backed up until today. He was lucky to even find one, bought the MOS even though he won’t use the sight. Paid for a feature he won’t use just because there is no stock. Total time on his wait was 18 hours



Bought my 10 year old a .22 at the end of February, we were out of there in 8 minutes.

Times are crazy...


Regardless, it’ll be worth the wait Cuz.

[Beetlegeuse]

I think all the states run their own mirror of the NICS database, and when your FFL calls for your background check, he calls the state, not the feds. Might be a technical problem with their database.

[< <Samson> >]

Ummmm,

Who buy’s registered guns anyways - Lol

I have 2 registered, one in my wife’s name & one in my neighbor’s


The rest - well

I tried to buy my gf a rifle for her bday.

Apparently I was denied because of felony indictment.
It made for an awkward situation.

So we bought it in her name.

Depending on your state, you might be able to purchase blackpowder pistols and rifles. In some states, they're not considered "firearms" and thus no background checks are issued. Check with the laws.

And as far as that felony indictment goes, talk to a lawyer about getting your rights restored. It might cost a little cash, but you deserve your American rights.

It was indictment.
I didnt get my rights taken.

Legal advice on a steroid board....

Learn the difference between:
Charge
Indictment
Conviction

If you're trying to buy a gun and got denied, your rights were taken. We can split hairs here all day, but the answer is still to speak to a lawyer in regards to it.

I can buy a gun any time I want legally though.

Are you still under indictment? What is the Status of the case?

if your under indictment ,, any good lawyer advise would be not to publicly talk about the details

[C27H40O3]

I am certainly not asking for details, just the status of case.

Trial, awaiting trial, picking jury, case conference, awaiting probation report, etc...

I would never ask folks personal details of a criminal case.

Dude you're buying a weapon that has one purpose: to kill, and you are mad you have to wait a day or two? I bought my first gun in 2007 and had to do the same thing. If they're doing their job right, it's to ensure you are not a lunatic that is going to murder a bunch of people. How would you like it if someone bought a gun and walked out the same day, no questions asked, and murdered someone you love?

People never think until it happens to them smh.

Your first sentence sounds about as liberal pussified garbage that one could possible spew. But theres no changing your mind so im not arguing that it is sole purpose is designed to kill.

Ive bought about two dozen guns in my adult life this isnt “buying my first gun today guys and got denied” just to clarify.

And lastly someone that broke into my house would more than likely not buy the weapon at a dealer , id lean to a private sale myself cash sale and nothing is traced except the first owner.
It literally has nothing to do with original post of why im having to wait this time. They already know im not a lunatic bc my social security number was listed. Its an irrelevant argument but yea i am still mad about it by the way lol
Hopefully soon ill get the go ahead

I don't get how my statement sounds "liberal." It's just common sense. If you previously bought guns, in that case they should be able to pull up your information and verify you're good to go. Either way, owning a gun is a big responsibility and even if you bought a thousand guns, I don't think waiting a day or two is that big of a deal. I could say not waiting a day or two is some millenial "me me me, I Want it now!" bullshit. BTW most doctors & scientists are liberal. The smartest people, so thanks.

who is "They"


my freedom and rights to own what I want should be controlled by some sort of invisible "They" ?

If you want to buy an island and build your own gun factory and sell guns to anyone who has the cash (coconuts), then go right ahead. For the rest of people who want to live in a civilized society, they must abide by the rules created by people, who are elected by other people. This is why we have a democracy. Just as you think anyone should be able to easily buy a gun, I don’t think it should be that easy. That’s my freedom too. So you can say that it’s your right or freedom to own a gun, but I can say it’s my right or freedom to not want just anyone to own a gun. Owning a weapon is no longer just about you. Driving a car is no longer just about you. Any time you buy something that has the potential to cause great harm to many people, it’s no longer about you. People who drive recklessly do not get to drive anymore. People who are repeat criminal violent offenders should not own guns. But THEY have to verify you are safe to buy a gun before WE have to deal with the consequences of YOUR decisions. Not speaking about you, just in general.

That’s the way it was for most of us growing up, all the way up until the 1990’s. You walk in, be 18 or over, and walk out with a gun.

You can use anything to kill, but a gun has one purpose, and one purpose only. Maybe you can crack open a beer with it or play spin the glock.

Target practice? Hunting? Entertainment? Protection? Ammonium nitrate has one purpose... No wait it has lots of purposes. If you're going to start making things legislatively restricted in order to prevent someone from having the capability of using it then I see no reason to stop there
